Honey

As always I am extremely happy with my recent order. In the past I have tried honeys but The Raw Honey supersedes all others. I use honey in tea, coffee, porridge and anywhere else I can. It is also a very good healer which I can confirm 100%, my dog because she became an angel had a wound that wouldn’t heal, after covering with raw honey it soon healed over. Thank you I will be buying again when I run out

honey heaven

I am now onto my fourth pot of honey, the orange blossom was lovely. I never knew what real honey looked or tasted like until i found the raw honey shop. Now that my I am educated I will not go back to supermarket honey again! A really nice website, easy to use and the paperwork communication and packaging feels very personal so thank you it is not an experience one gets often. Cannot find fault from order to delivery and consumption.

lovely honey

I absolutely love it. I have never liked honey, although I tried to. Once I had tasted this honey I was wild for it. As diabetic I should not eat too much sweet food, but this is so good for us, so natural and pure that I know it is good to eat, so good to eat.

"I am 51 years old and have never liked - so never eaten honey. Until I tried yours, that is. There is a world of difference in flavour between commercially produced honey and the raw honey that you sell. I'm a total (and very happy) convert!"

Helen, West Yorkshire

"I have eaten honey all my life but had never tasted oak or chestnut. It is the best honey I have tasted and you will be receiving my custom on a permanent basis."

David, Devon

"We are really pleased with the friendly informative help we have recived and the speedy arrival of our order. The honey (3 Varieties) are delicious - amazingly better than honeys we have previously bought locally."

M Whealy, Brentwood

"I am always more than happy to support people like yourself who work hard so that the rest of us can enjoy something very special. It was a very happy day when I came across your honey and I have not bought any other since then, nor will I in the future. Kind regards,"

Suzanne

"This is the nicest honey either of us has ever tasted. They were all great, but we both agreed that the Forest version was the most appealing, closely followed by the rest. Quite honestly, less than a hairs breadth between them on the appeal factor. As for the quality? Unsurpassed. That's enough accolades for one day - or your heads will swell so much that the roof will have to be raised to let you all out. Regards,"
